And maybe someone can explain Margaret White, mother or Carrie White.

But if you don't like the topic. we can ask to close it.
Well, I assume you know that Margaret White is a fictional character. Although, I do believe I once read that White's character was loosely inspired by King's brief encounter with a holy roller, who happened to have a life-sized, cardboard Jesus standing in the middle her living room at the time.
At any rate, it should be easy enough to find out about the author's personal insight into his fictional creations; Check out Stephen King's On Writing.
Or easier yet, visit an official fan site.
I did know that M. White is a fictional character. I also know that good writers either do extensive research or write about stuff they know well from their personal experience (like George Orwell and Down and his 'Out in Paris and London') or both. Stephen King is definitely a very good writer.
But thank you. I should read On Writing. It's a very good idea
